Brunswick County District Attorney Jon David says Teddy Rudolph King was sentenced to between 101 and 134 months in prison. King was convicted as a habitual felon for selling crack on North Mulberry Street in Shallotte.

King was previously convicted as a habitual felon for possession with the intent to sell or deliver cocaine on October 20, 2006m and released from prison on Aug. 23, 2011.

He was later arrested for selling cocaine on Nov. 27, 2012, and indicted as a habitual felon for the second time.

David says a Brunswick County jury deliberated for about an hour before returning guilty verdicts.

Police said an officer pulled over a car for a registration violation near Broad Street and Airport Road around 10 p.m.

During the stop, the officer noticed evidence inside of the car of narcotics use. As they searched the car, officers said they found a crack pipe, syringes, razor blades, digital scales, an empty pill container, and several clear plastic baggies. Officers also said they discovered a pill box behind the CD player insert. Inside that pill box was 18 bundles of heroin, 7.4 grams of crack cocaine, five baggies of powder cocaine, and 11 Opium based pills.

They arrested two people from Fayetteville. Both 31-year-old Jason Terrell Williams and 32-year-old Rebecca Vance Smith, faces several drug charges and are in the Bladen County jail.

Andrew Roland, 37, will spend 10 years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this year to distributing heroin. He was arrested in late 2011 after Wilmington Police made three undercover purchases from him. Investigators say when they served warrants on several homes in the 500 block of Swann Street a month later, they found raw heroin, more than 100 bags of heroin and seven stolen firearms.

Michael Renard Harrison, 42, will spend up to eight years behind bars. Law enforcement in South Carolina also stopped him in 2012 with more than $14,000 in drug money. Investigators say Harrison was responsible for distributing more than four kilograms of cocaine and half a kilogram of crack

And a judge sentenced William Haywood Houck, 36, to 7.5 years. In the fall of 2011, undercover Wilmington Police officers bought heroin from Houck. A month later Greensboro Police arrested Houck and other co-conspirators with $9,000 they planned to use to buy heroin in New York. Wilmington Police arrested him in February 2012 at a home on Greenfield Street, where they found heroin, PCP and cocaine base. Investigators say a week earlier Houck and others had packaged about 600 bags of heroin at the home.

An undercover drug bust landed two Wrightsville Beach employees behind bars. The shocking part: they were both in their work uniforms when they allegedly made a drug deal in Carolina Beach.]]>CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — An undercover drug bust landed two Wrightsville Beach employees behind bars. The shocking part: they were both in their work uniforms when they allegedly made a drug deal in Carolina Beach.

“We had some information they had been selling in the area,” Carolina Beach Police Chief Kurt Bartley said.

At the time, both men were Town of Wrightsville Beach employees. Police say they were wearing their town uniforms when they were busted.

“Towns try to hire the best people for the best positions, and we do have an ethical responsibility to hire the right people,” Bartley said. “Unfortunately there are people that are employed, and you don’t find out until after a situation like this happens.”

Police say on November 29, the duo sold nearly $700 worth of crack and marijuana to an undercover detective at a Carolina Beach motel. Police arrested the two men on North Lake Park Blvd., just steps from the Carolina Beach Police Department.

The Town of Wrightsville Beach tells us Moultrie was fired the next day. Bryant is still on the job.

“This is a personnel matter and will be handled appropriately,” Wrightsville Beach Mayor David Cignotti said in a statement. “I will say it is disappointing.”

Back in Carolina Beach, Chief Bartley says no one is above the law.

“Just like every citizen is responsible to stay within the laws, so are employees of the government,” he said.

Moultrie and Bryant face a slew of felony drug charges. Both men are out of jail. They are due back in court tomorrow.

A month-long drug investigation involving the SBI and the Wilmington Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit culminated Monday night with several controlled purchases of crack cocaine. The two suspects were arrested in the 1900 block of South 16th Street.

Michael Lamont Webb is being held under a $1,045,300 secured bond and Robert Franklin Graham Jr. is being held under a $100,000 secure bond.

The two suspects are in custody at the New Hanover County Detention Facility after their first appearance in court Tuesday.

A federal jury convicted Rushaun Necko Parker of several drug and weapons charges stemming for a January 2010 arrest. Prosecutors say Parker had made crack cocaine and distributed more than five kilograms of it in eastern North Carolina. His sentencing is set for June 14.
